“My work shows the situation we are currently in as black people because we elect people who are supposed to help us, but once they get into those positions of power they forget about the ‘little people’ – the ones at the bottom who put them at the top.”

Mguga, who was born in Cathcart, said his vision was to convert those “busy with crime to become pillars of the community”.

“I’ve approached some of the mischievous ones from around the community to join me in my vision and pave the way for others to follow and be positive role models.

“I want people to sustain themselves, gain skills that make them employable and end unemployment,” he said.
